The Galder of Groa, verse 7 “I sing you the second so that if you wander without will on the road, Urth’s ward songs may hold you with all main when you are on the way.” from a translation of the Poetic Edda, a collection of Old Norse Poems dating from roughly 1000 years ago.

SR4 Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 alright, had to edit, it was track 13. I think Ive digested this album enough and my favorite tracks are: Teddy Oggie(no dispute there I think, just a genuinely awesome album opener) Flat Rock(really sad nostalgic feeling with an afx-ish pad?) Seaway Trail(the soaring pads in the beginning and the fuckin tight, TIGHT beat at the end) World Rim Walker(creepy acid fest...love it!) The Fire Above(classic Wisp, slightly cheese synths midievil rave style all over the place for a minute, then chills into a slower hiphop version of itself....really reminds me of his old track Slopes for some reason....lovely lovely track) and the last track is beautiful, would love to hear a Wisp ambient album!

zazen Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 As Robotussin pointed out in EKT, there is a review of the shimmering hour by Jakub Alexander on Iso50 (Scott Hansen/Tycho's blog) http://blog.iso50.com/2009/06/19/wisp-the-shimmering-hour The comments are great too, Quote Will H Says: June 20th, 2009 at 8:40 pm This guy is the prime example of the IDM dream: Someday, after releasing tons of albums on netlabels that you composed in your parents basement, Aphex Twin/Venetian Snares will call you up for a chat and wisk you away to a magical kingdom of bars in England of people getting smashed to fucking weird music. I love IDM.

zazen Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) A few more reviews, for those of us who like reading reviews of stuff we've already heard The Silent Ballet reviews Wisp Quote .... sounds like the quintessential Rephlex album ... this is an album to soak up at home rather than bounce around the room. The rising chords on the second track "Picatrix" set the tone for much of the album, with glorious swathes of soaring melody. It is the bright, optimistic analogue tunes that hark back to much of the Rephlex catalogue, and it sounds as if Dunn is fully aware of his position in the story, of one continuing the work of his forebears ... Dusted Magazine reviews Wisp Quote ...The wait feels worth it ... As much as the press kit delights in whipping out AFX, Tangerine Dream and J.R.R. Tolkien, the real heart of this release is every pleasant dream you’ve ever had about Castlevania ... The Shimmering Hour is a well-deserved success for the man behind it. A short review on Boomkat Quote ... this album should go a long way to satisfy many electronica nuts with it's uncannily similar fusion of extreme beat complexities, emotive melodies and florid harmonics...
